How to update Edge manually? (with blocked Windows update)
I use Sledgehammer and Edge doesn't update automatically. As its update service is not running, as result of automatic Windows updates being blocked. And I don't want even to allow them, even once, so Windows doesn't install crappy drivers for my devices! I update manually!
There is also another thing: I can update Edge manually, by starting edge and click on update. But I want to deny Edge permissions so it can't start on my PC. It may start automatically after and update anyways. But I want prevent it from running randomly. So if its permissions are denied, I cannot open Edge and update manually. So how do I update Edge then? Changing permissions each time is too annoying! Even with like bat file, you have to click that icon each time and then after update another to disable it again...
I don't know if Edge starts randomly. I Am currently logging process startup on my PC will see. So maybe there is no need to block Edge... Problem is maybe it could run under other process, in which case it would be hard to spot!
